PREFACE 


wou my pleasantest recollections of the International 
Exposition of Decorative Arts, held at Paris in 1925, is a 
memory of the Swedish Pavilion. In an exposition where 
much of the architecture was uninspired and tawdry, this 
little building, with its air of quiet distinction, was an 
oasis of delight. Here was beauty of proportions, of sim- 
ple masses, of clean lines. The deep-set porch, reflecting 
in a garden pool its slender twin columns between flank- 
ing pilasters, recalled classical precedent; but the ele- 
ments derived from the antique were so transformed that 
the design as a whole represented an original creation. 
The same freshness of expression—without violent de- 
parture from tradition—characterized Sweden’s exhibits 
of applied arts shown within the pavilion and elsewhere 
in the exposition. It was evident to any beholder not 
blinded by prejudice that Sweden had reason to be proud 
of her contribution to the movement for the renovation of 
art in industry. 

From many centuries of sturdy folk-art the modern 
Swedish craftsman has inherited an instinctive sense of 
vigorous, unsophisticated decoration. Of first importance 
in the dissemination of this influence are the remarkable 
collections of peasant art in the Nordiska Museet at 
Stockholm with its open-air branch at Skansen, and the 
craft work along traditional lines, especially in the field 
of textiles, of the Svenska Hemsl6jdsforeningarnas Riks- 
férbund, a federation of twenty-seven regional guilds. 
Another association of conservative character, but ani-

mated by more modern tendencies, is the Foreningen for 
Svensk Hemsléjd.” A third, the Foreningen Handarbetets 
Vanner, although drawing inspiration from the old peas- 
ant arts, stresses originality in design. 

If Swedish contemporary art shows the influence of an- 
cient folk-art, it also shows, although perhaps less obvi- 
ously, the influence of the happy assimilation of French 
art and culture that marked the eighteenth and the early 
nineteenth centuries in Sweden. French example imposed 
upon Swedish art a discipline of self-restraint, and re- 
vealed the charm of classic simplicity and refinement. The 
lesson was well learned. It is responsible, in part at least, 
for the sobriety that characterizes Sweden’s applied arts 
of today. 

A third factor has still to be mentioned, the influence of 
the international movement for the regeneration of the 
decorative arts, which has made such notable progress in 
Europe during the last quarter of a century. This move- 
ment is a reaction from the slavish dependence on past 
styles to which the eclecticism of the nineteenth century, 
with its vogue for antiques and reproductions, subjected 
the applied arts. Our age is too rich in new meanings and 
new endeavors to be imprisoned in the formulae of other 
days. The achievement of pure beauty—the constant fac- 
tor in the aesthetic experience—imust be enriched with in- 
tellectual associations significant of our own time, if mod- 
ern art is to yield a full measure of enjoyment. We may 
surround ourselves with the flotsam and jetsam of the 
ages, but no erudition however profound, no romantic 
craving however desirous, can ever make us see these rel- 
ics of the past with the eyes of those for whom they were 
made. Would it not be idle to pretend that the use of clas-

PREFACE 


sical ornament in Renaissance furniture design gives us 
anything like the same fine thrill that it did the fifteenth- 
century Italian, for whom these motives were the sym- 
bols of an astonishing new world that had just come with- 
in his ken? If art is to be a vital part of our lives, it must 
reflect our deepest interests. And surely, a sentimental 
antiquarianism, flitting from one historic style to another, 
is not the sole, or the most profound, interest of our gen- 
eration. : 

No agency has been more active in Sweden during the 
past ten years or so in spreading the influence of this re- 
form movement than the venerable Svenska Sl6jdf6renin- 
gen. The activities of this society, which include publica- 
tions, exhibitions, competitions, lectures, and liaison work 
between manufacturer and artist, have been a great stim- 
ulus to the recent development of the applied arts in Swe- 
den, especially in the more intelligent utilization of the 
means of mechanical production. 

Sweden is not a rich country. There is, accordingly, 
little demand for articles of luxury. With a few excep- 
tions, such, for instance, as some of the glass work of 
Orrefors, contemporary Swedish decorative art is far 
from expensive or luxurious in character. It reflects, on 
the contrary, the tastes and needs of the comfortable mid- 
dle class for which it is made. Naturally, this condition 
imposes limitations, but they are offset by the great ad- 
vantage to those who are creating a modern style of hav- 
ing a basis of firm, popular support upon which to build. 
These Swedish productions give an impression of perma- 
nency—of “‘belonging’’—which is often missing in the ap- 
plied arts of other countries where they are more depend- 
ent upon the varying tastes of individuals.

PREFACE 


The extent to which the new movement in the applied 
arts has met with popular approval in Sweden is indi- 
cated by the enthusiasm with which the organization of 
this exhibition, now on view in the Museum, has been un- 
dertaken. During his recent visit to New York, H. R. H. 
the Crown Prince of Sweden graciously consented to per- 
mit the exhibition to be held under his auspices. The dis- 
tinguished Swedish committee that has had the exhibition 
in charge is headed by H.R.H. Prince Eugene of Sweden 
as Honorary Chairman, with His Excellency, H. Lager- 
crantz, formerly Minister of Sweden to the United States, 
and Josef Sachs, Managing Director of A.B. Nordiska 
Kompaniet, respectively Chairman and Vice-Chairman. 
Dr. Gregor Paulsson, President of the Swedish Association 
of Arts and Crafts, has acted as Commissioner-General for 
_ the exhibition, assisted by Ernst Gustafsson as Vice-Com- 
missioner. It will be recalled that Dr. Paulsson served in 
the same capacity in connection with Sweden's participa- 
tion in the Paris Exposition of 1925. The architect of the 
Swedish pavilion at that exposition, Carl G. Bergsten, has 
prepared the plans for the installation of the collection in 
our Gallery of Special Exhibitions. The Swedish Govern- 
ment has made a most liberal grant toward the expenses 
of the exhibition. To all who have made this exhibition 
possible the Museum is keenly grateful.
